Mardi Gras Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great overall cruise carnival went all out with entertainment onboard. Food is limited to pizza after 10:00 and sweets were hard to find

Nice getaway, but disappointing compared to cruises we've done before. Carnival really needs to step it up with the entertainment and food quality if they are to remain competitive. I don't understand food and drink service ending so early, people are on vacation and hanging out late. Also drinks are too expensive and soft drinks should be free.

Ship is beautiful! Food is mediocre and the entertainment (not the shows) were okay. Most choices are comedy club or live music. Wish there was more to do.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary while on board. Last year was on the Vista. Enjoyed every minute of it. Crew were great at handling everything. Felt well pampered.

Carnival gets it done! Well done, fun is the operative word, just right ratio of entertainment, food and relaxation. Will do it again. Staff exceeded expectations in all areas.

This cruise was one of my best ones so far it was so much that you could do or if you wanted just relax .The staff was always asking you if there was anything you needed or maybe something else to eat.

We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the Mardi Gras. That being said be aware Carnival wants you to spend on board the ship. The first night we ordered 2 drinks and the bill was $48.00. They were double shot drinks, but that is ridiculous.

I still had a great time because the ship is full of activities and shows.

Food at the NIGHT dining was okay - all restaurants were great

We will try a different cruise line next time. We had a wonderful time with our 13 person family group. People had told us before that Carnival is a "Party Ship" and we had always responded that we had not noticed that and were not bothered by that. This time we did notice it and noted that the sound levels were always terribly loud. The other thing we noticed was the extra costs for everything.

We were on the first Mardi Gras in 1981 and were thrilled to be able to be on this ship now. It was a great cruise. Memories were made!

It was a great cruise! Loved the ship, especially loved the crew, loved the entertainment, all the trivia games, the fun ship people that did all the games and trivia, especially Clint! It was really great! Only complaint was Seafood Shack and Emerils.

Over all, we had great time on the Mardi Gras. We had 1 day of motion sickness due to the waves. But we brought dramamine and scopolamine. I would do another cruise. May be try a different boat next time.

Mardi Gras is a huge ship and is well staffed and very clean. During spring break time there were over six thousand people onboard. The ship handles the crowds very well for the most part. Pool areas and water slide areas do not have nearly enough chairs. Need a better policy/enforcement of those who throw a towel on a chair and expect it to be theirs for the whole day and aren't even there most of the time.

Overall, a great family vacation with the children, grandparents and friends.

Overall we had an amazing vacation but differences were noticed cruising post covid.. We still had a great time and so did our kids!! Can't wait to be cruising again.

Do NOT USE This travel agency...Tina was aweful! Didn't give us great options. Absolutely no follow through on what she told us and literally told me 'i don't know' when I asked questions.

It was Okay Fun for only a Few Days The Ports were Cool But Being on The Ship For More than a Few Days Got Boring

Smoothest ship we ever sailed on. The staff was friendly. The food was awful. I’m glad we brought snacks. Even on the formal nights the steak was terrible. We all got sick one night so pretty sure we had food poisoning. If you cruise to eat don’t go on this ship.

Great cruise and stops. Too crowded and over worked crew, but we still had fun.
